To all whom 'it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, JosrArLG. .WINQEB, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Grand Valley, in the county of AWarren and vState ofPennsylvania, have invented -a new and Improved Hydraulic Winch, of

which the following is '-a full, clear, and exact description,

i use in connection with the This inventlon relates to vWinches, and.

es eciall to hydraulic Winches.

. he o ject of the inventionis to produce a winch of this' class whichissimple in construction and which is especiall adapted for dzilling .ofoil Wells or Artesian wells, and for unscrewirll or screwing togetherthe sections of the Y or tool joints. A further obj ect 'of theinvention is to pro-v l J l vide,a"winch es eciall adapted for movingv.20 Y I heavy weights om p ace to place..

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts tobe more flly described hereinafter and particularly set forth in theclaims. l

Reference is tov be-'had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of referfigures.

a housing oi'. base. Atopposite sided-.this i frame is providedWith-'upwardly proecting brackets 3 which constitute bearings or thetrunnion-s 4 of a cyljnder'or barrel 5 mounted'V 'l therebetween' torotate -upon a horizontal axis. vThese brackets are attached to the base'1 by suitable bolts 2. 'The rear 'extremity. of this barrel is closedby a bonnet 6 'which screws upon the same as'indicated.

vThe opposite extremity is closed by. a suitable p ug A7. furnishedwith'a stuin'g-b'ox 8 through which the passes, as shown.

ton head 10 is mounted to slide, and this plunger orl istonrbd 9 headisrigidly attached to the iston rod 9` by means of a follower 11 whicholds inposition a cup leather `or packing leather 12 fy commonconstruction.

As' indicated most clearly in 3, op.l I posite ends of the cylinder areconnected by a by-pass pipe-13, and 'at 4a suitable oint in this pipe acock 14 is provided, w ch enables communication between the two endsof/the c linder to be cut off.. J This cock is preferab y attached nearthe forward end of the c linder or barrel. Near .the opposite end o thepipe 13, a feed pipe 15 is provided, as indicated in'Fig. 6,.Wh1chconstitutes I a branch from the pipe 13, and this. pipe isv v formedwith a lateral extension lvrwhichg..l leads to the casing of the 'barrelasl shown. In the casin -of the barrel .thereis formed'a j Apump ycyliner4 17,'With-Which the pipe 16V communicates, as shown.' '.This pump.cylin-l der is formed upon a vertical axis, and its lower end-is closedby" aremovable plug or head 17 a which screws into the cylinder frombelow as shown in Fig'. '5'. Y

In the-feed pipe 15 near its point of com -miinication Wlth-theextensionll, a/ch'eck Vvalve v18 is provided, whichopens in a directionto permit a iiowrom the-pipe. v15 to the pump c` linder, but not inthe'opposite direction., pposit'e this valve a removable-plug 19 isprov1ded,.w hich enablesrthe valve to be removed. At the side ofvthe'pump cylinder 17 thereis' formed a valve chamberZO which 'is with abushing 21, the upper poru 'f tioxi of which is formed into a seat foracheck.

Avalve 22, andv this `'va-Ive is normally held 'i upon' its seat byineens cfa spring23, lthe upper endofivhrchis Yseated againsta'removable'v plug 24." 'Ihev lower portion of this l Zito v5, '1.represents valve chamber communicates, through a i-thifn the arrel,`apisport 25,'vvith the interior of the ump cylinder Vat the lower endthereof. T e lower end of the valve chamber isclos'ed by asuitableremovable plug 26. lin the ump cylinder @5. 'there is mounted areciprocating plunger 27 vwhich is adapted to be operatedv by means of alever 28 connected thereto by a suitableV in 29, the said lever being.attached at its y Forward extremity to links 30, the lower ends ofwhich are pivotally yattached to lugs 31 which project up from thecasing or barrel, 'as indicated. 1

lThe u per ortion of, the valvev chest -20 above t e valve 22 iscommunication with an inlet duct 32 which duct is formed in the casingor barrel as shown, and leads to. the forward end of the barrel, Aasindicated' v most clearly in Fi 2. The cock 1 4 may be opened or.closedy means of a hand lever 20 313, and accessmay be had to the interior of-P'thejbonnet 'throufgh a removable plug34. The forward end of thevpiston rod 9 which extends through the stuffing-box 8, is formed into aclevis 35 having a transverse bolt 36 to v25 whichthewinch chain 37 maybe'attachedfas indicated. Y Y f .As indicated most clearlyin Fig. 3, thebase 1 consists substantiallyof a plate which lies fiat upon the Hoor.At its rear edge this plate is offset uplwardly so as `to form ...a'pocket -38 at Whic there is attached ernia-f" nently a Winch anchorchain 39.7l T e rear end of this Vchain is attached to theiloor by asuitable anchorbolt 40, as indicated in Fig. 1. To the uppersection411ofthe drill* an upper wrench 42 applied, as'indicate m Flg. 1,and 'a similar Wrench 43 isapplied to the ,lower section. vThe chain 37is ro- -vided at its extremity with a hook'44`w- 'ch 4 0 is attached tothe wrench 42. indicated. To the end of the wrenchr43 an vanchor-chain i45 is attached by forming a' loo'p 46'about the.

handleof the Wrench as shown. `r The edvof the` chain forming this loopis provided with a hook 47, the construction of whichis 'most clearlvshown in Fi 7,-and`the fixed end'of the c ain is provi ed with ananchorhook 48, the constructiontof' which is mostclearly shown in 8'. ;Thisanchor-hook `is formed with a body 49 having'an eye`50 formed at oneextremity thereof,.to'which the chain-45 is attached. Thisbody49'isf-formed iat its extremity op osite the eye BO- withadownwardlyexten shank 51 and theextrernty' LhFrom the lnder side ofthe body49.*nea'r 60n to facilitate its at the-.oorfil by rofvi the f loo'r anfirs end of thehoolgrsinse w'ill project der the loo en $5 passing body49 of the Vhooklies fiat upon the'floor, as

shown.` The spur 53 is then received in the .openin 156.

The ook 47 is formed with an elongated body formed from'ia-.at b ar, andthe rear en'd 'of this bodyis bent to form a rudimentary e `e 57. Thiseyev is attached to the end of t e chain formin the., loop 46, asindicated 7 most clearly in igs.A 1 and 7. At the Aend o posite therudimentary eye 57 the body 7 5` o the hook 47 is bent laterally andformed into a curved spur 58, which spur is disposed `in a planesubstantiall at right :ang-lesto the body l of vthe hook.his.construction enables the hook to. be ap lied -to a straight `tautchain, 'as indicated 'y the dotted lines' 59 v in Fig. 7. Inthis'connection7 it will be i understood that the bod offthe hook lies fsubstantiall parallel wit the direction-M Whichthe. c am'extends, andthe spur '58 of '85 the hook is illustrated.

The arran einentfof the parts illustrated in Fig. 1, is tlgiatwhicharises when thewinch is to operate to screw to ether two drill sec-.tions connected by Va rig t-hand thread, and the mode of operation withthis arrangement Will now be described: The lever 33 is rotated so as toclose the cock l14;v in this Way, the"v` outlet from the barrelbecomes'closed. The'l` suita vle fluid, such as oil or glycerin, from` the rearendof the' barrel, forcing the same into the Aforward vend of the barrelthrou h the valves 18 and 2 2, andthrou h the et duct 32."'The'aceumulatingflui in the v for'- Ward end of thev4 barrel forcesthe'head' 10' the .ston-rod. 9.. ,I n thi s way/the chaine? f is ta. enup, so that the wrench 42 is operated, rotating the upperfdrillsection41 toward Y the'ig'ht. The-anchor chain 45 operatesto tion Ythrough themedium of thezwrench 43. After the' wrench 42 'is moved' so farA as t oprevent the Winch from o erating upon -1t applied further back and theoperation rel peated. In order'to allow the piston rod- 9 to. returntoits extended condition, it is only necessary-5to openthecock 14,whereupon Y free communication will be; opened between i the ends oftheI t shouldlbe understood thatthe winchis' v not attachedto ilneflioor,butis 'simpl an-V chored. to the oor by the .chain 40. ith f thisarrangement, the'f'winchj vcan evidentlyg shift its Pesion Se@ to.
